I'm sure this has been stated, but the game is in early access. Books, crafting mats, etc will be included in at some point.
Sure, but that's not the problem here.
Larian needs to decide what kind of pacing wants to give to the game.
Are they genuinely happy with slowing down progression/exploration to a crawl because every goddamn room has more crates, shelves and containers of all sorts than Hong Kong has bikes?
Do they plan to design a game where unrewarding busywork and tedious inventory management are the greatest time sinks?
